MUSICAL RISKS: Find Your Own GREATNESS - Crazy "Time of the Season" Lead Solo - 10,000 Subscribers!

#musicalrisks #leadsolo #guitarlesson
Taking MUSICAL RISKS is the KEY to maximizing YOUR musical potential — finding YOUR OWN GREATNESS. Today, I do a deep dive on musical risk-taking — how to do it and WHY – with insights and influences from some of the greatest all-time musicians, including Beethoven, Miles Davis and more.
Find out how to go beyond "perfection mode" into the risky business of finding "your own voice" — as a guitarist, singer, or whatever else you play.
Watch and hear me risk falling flat on my face as I venture "way out" into planned and improvised elements over a series of takes. Learn how I was able to record a final lead solo that captured EXACTLY what I wanted to express. YOU CAN DO IT, TOO!
